Scott Greer thinks that conservatism has changed.
He was arguing with me on X earlier this afternoon about his book Whitepill when the news broke that Sen. John Curtis was trying to create a federal version of Utah’s old guest worker program. For those who don’t remember this Tea Party-era cheap labor program, Utah was sued by the Obama administration which succeeded in blocking the guest worker program from taking effect.
“Utah Sen. John Curtis announced the introduction of a bill on Monday that would create a voluntary state-sponsored visa program, allowing state legislatures to expand their temporary migrant workforce.
The legislation, introduced with Arizona Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, appears to mirror a 15-year-old proposal passed in Utah as part of the 2011 Compact on Immigration, but which never received federal approval.
Curtis’ bill would mark a major reform to federal immigration law, if it can make its way through congressional gridlock, by letting states manage their own state-level guest-worker initiatives based on local labor demands. …”
It is 2026.
We’re now 11 years into MAGA and the GOP is still hopelessly subservient to Big Ag. Trump himself has said that the “Radical Right” would have to get over it. They are still kicking around these old ideas. This is also separate from the new farmworker amnesty introduced by House Republicans.
The truth is that the GOP never stopped pushing for amnesty. Comprehensive immigration reform was pushed during the Biden administration. The DREAM Act never went away. The Dignity Act is introduced in every Congress. Lindsey Graham died a MAGA hero after spending his entire career in the Senate pushing for various amnesties like his last attempt to grant legal status to Afghan refugees.
If they really want to help Big Ag, they should stop fighting Iran and Russia. This would lower oil prices and fertilizer prices.
But holding onto our American homeland is more important than cheap food.
Farmers need to adjust to a new economy built on a small labor force and high wages.
I wasn’t fully aware that Clowngress had a Howdy-Doody clone. The probably have several.

Scott Greer and his book are full of shiite.
Sigh
I’ve been in and out of LDS “Don’t call us Mormons anymore that was Racist. We’re not Racists” circles for 30 plus years now.
These White LDS folks in Utah and elsewhere have their strengths and weaknesses. They are generally nice White folks, good neighbors. But in politics , especially immigration politics they suck – IMO as bad as the Jews.
Yes, they love cheap labor, they like virtue signaling that they are no longer White racists. And yes they go along to get along with the powers that be which includes 100% Neo Conservative J Zionist, Christian Zionist foreign policy, endless wars for Israel against all their neighbors.
I literally puked my lunch when then GOP Presidential candidate Mittens Romney repeated his Je* Grim Wormtongue Je* diverter Max Boots command that:
Vladimir Putin’s Russia was our #1 Enemy.
WTF?
Whith traitor LDS pols, LDS business leaders, LDS immigration traitors as with all immigration traitors, don’t try to educate them, argue with them, just punish them.
Find out where they live and hang out then bus Covid, TB, bubonic plague infected migrants, illegal aliens to their homes, golf clubs, MS13 illegal alien cartel killers – send them to these LDS immigration traitors homes, LDS temples. F#*&*$ with them.
Sigh.

Watch the last 60 seconds.
Few of them say it, but believed by all.
“Voltaire” stated it elegantly:
If you want to know who rules over you…..

““Voltaire” stated it elegantly:

I’ve read that this (very accurate) statement has been in fact misattributed to Voltaire. Apparently, the iteration of this statement that we are familiar with was penned by Kevin Alfred Strom of the N.A. back in the 90s. Still and all, no one can debate its veracity …
He sorta looks like peewee herman
All he needs is a bow tie.
Alfred E. Newman 🙂
US of AIPAC– Yes!! Exactly. Alfred E. Newman as an old man… I was a massive MAD Magazine fan as an idiotic youth. It was super Jew-ey to the MAX, and rubbing my little Gentile nose in it. And I had no idea, as a wee lass of 9-years of age. Sigh, as Mr. Ryan would say.
Think you nailed it, US of AIPAC. Alfred E. Newman in dirty magic underoos. They refer to non-Mormons as ‘gentiles’ also.
Lindsay Graham was a truly repulsive figure. Sooo good riddance to her!
